SHAVING-PAPER HOLDER.

Application filed September 22, 1926'. Serial N 0. 136,909.

This invention relates to improvements in a type of devices in which a bail-like member employed to deta'chably hold and suspend a roll of paper, is pivotally mounted at its upper portion on theupper part of a supporting plate or member adapted to be fixedly held in substantially a vertical position on the wall of a room .OITIOlJhBI upright support, and having in its lower portion means for the guidance, manipulation, locking and means for severing the sheet or ribbon of paper comprising the said roll, as well asmeans for adjusting the paper a for the purpose of permitting the severeanee of strips or pieces of desired dimensions therefrom, and it consists in certain peculiarities of the construction, novel features and combination of the parts thereof,

as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed.

One of the objects of the invention is the provision of a shaving paper holder of the above named general character,which, while it is more particularlyintended for use near lavatories andin,bath-roomswhereina lava: tory may be located, and 'for the purpose of holding rolls of paper, one at a -time, to be used as shaving paper, yet it is applicable for use as a toilet paper holder, or for holding aroll of paper, for commercial purposes, or 'may be ylocatedelsewhere than above mentioned. g

Another object of the invention is to provide an .improved construction whereby a paper holder of an extremely simple and inexpensive character or nature,'yet possess- Zing. convenience in its use, attractiveness,

strength, durability and efliciency will be provided.

A further object of the nvention is to fur nish an improved construction -Whereby a great many of the-elements, such as casings,

rivets, bolts, springs "and the like, usually employed in paper holders in common use, may be dispensed with, yet so that the device shall' be as sanitary, attractive, strong and efficient as ordinary paper holders, or moreso, and so that the'device can be more readily manufactured, and at much less expense. v

A still further object is to so construct the device as to prevent the rebounding or reverse movementof the paper roll. after the paper has been severed therefrom, and to furnish locking means for holding the paperto be severed or torn off, in apredetermined or measured slip or piece, which locking means shall be operated by the actionof tearing off or severing 0f the paper ribbon comprising the roll. which the device supports.

Other objects and advantages of the in a piece vention will be disclosed in the following description and explanation, which will be more readily understood when read in con- ]unction with the accompanying drawing,

7 in which an embodiment of which the invention issusceptible is illustrated, .it being understood that modifications and changesmay be resorted to withouta departure from thespirit of the invention, so long as they fall within'the scope of the appended claims forming a part hereof.

In the drawing Fig. 1 is a front face view of the device showing a roll of paper mounted thereon and the sheet or ribbon of said roll extended downwardly therefrom through the guide for said sheet with the lower end of the latter extended slightlybelow the lower edge of said'guide.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the holder with the paper roll mounted onthe bail of the holder and occupying its normal position, and be sides, showing the ribbon 8Xl3011d6d-ClOWII Wa'rdly therefrom with its lower edge ex tended slightly through the lower edge ofthe guide, which position. 1

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken 0n line 33 of Fig. lloolring in the direc tion indicated by the arrows, but showin the position the front fall of the guide will oc cupy in the actof'tearing off a strip or piece of the ribbonyof said roll and Fig. 4 's a fragmental face view of the.

rear wall of the guide showing a modifica tion n the construction thereof.

Like numerals'of reference refer to corresponding parts throughout the different views of the drawing.

' Referring now more particularly to Figs. 1 to .3 inclusive, the supporting plate or member of the device is designatedas a whole by the reference numeral 7, and when viewed from in fr'ont'thereof, is of a ver- 7 uide' is shown in its normal tically elongated rectangular shape and has at its upper end an upwardly extendedapertured enlargement 8 and at asuitable dis .tance below'the aperture of said enlarge meiit with another aperture or" opening which are for the reception of screws 9, em-' other razor wiping material, which holder or bail is by preference made of wire bent to form a rectangular like member designated a whole by the numeral 13, the slde members 14 of which have their free ends bent inwardly as at 15 to detachably engage in the openings 16 at the opposite ends of a suitable core 17 upon which the sheet or ribbon of paper constituting the roll 12 is tightly wound so that the roll and core will rotate together. v

It will be observed by reference to Figs. 7

2 and 3 of the drawing, that the opening 16 extends entirely through the core 17 and that said opening is of a considerable size in diameter, so much so, that the in-turned free ends 15 of the roll holder or bail will contact with the wall of said opening in single points only, and on that'side of a vertical line drawn through the center of' the opening in the core adjacent the supporting member 7 thus pivotally and eccentrically mounting the core and the roll which it carries on the side members 14 of the bail or holder, which latter has a forwardly and downwardly, extended portion 18 di verging from the lower upper portion of the member 7 at an obtuse angle thus forming two rests or bearing points 19 for the roll 12 which. will assist or prevent rebounding of the roll when the ribbon 18 thereof shall have been drawn downwardly and severed as will be presently explained.

Extended vertically from and below the inclined portion 18 of the supporting memher, is a portion 19 thereof which forms the rearwall of the guide for the paper ribbon, which guide 'is designated as a whole by the numeral 20 and is substantially of the same width as the supporting member. This wall ordinarily is provided with a vertically" elongated closed slot 21 at about midway between its side edge, but in some instances, it may extend at its lower end through the lower edge of the portion 19, as is clearly shown in the modified construction illustrated in Fig. 4 of the drawing, the said modified form of slot being indicated by the reference numeral 21, which, except being open at its bottom is like the other slot.

This rear wall 19of the guide is provided at each of its side edges and above its horizontal medial line with a pivot pin 22 which are preferably made integral with the wall 19, and are for the purpose of pivotally mounting the front wall 23 of the guide thereon. This front wall 28 is of the same size and for this purpose each side edge of the front wall 23 is provided above its horizontal. medi l line with an apertured enlargement 24 which receive the pins 22 and pi otally support the front wall as is obvious. Each side edge of the front wall is provided with a rearwardly extended flange 25 which includes the aperture enlargements 2a and enclose the space between the front and rear walls as is apparent. The upper end of the front wall 28 is provided with a horizontal bead or forward extension 26 which assists when the walls of the guide are in their normal positions, the insertion of the paper ribbon 18 as will be understood by reference toiFig. 2'

of the drawing.

By reason of the foregoing described conv struction and arrangement of the walls of the guide, it is apparent that the rear wall .19 will depend vertically from the section 18 of the supporting member, thus permitting the finger to be easily inserted between said wall and the'wall of the room or upright support, on which the supporting member 7 may be mounted. Furthermore, it will be seen that by pivotally mounting the front wall 23 on the pivot pins 22, which the purpose of exposing a strip or slip of ribbon of the desired size, when it is apparent that bypressing the ribbon below the front wall'forwardly it will cause the last named wall to pivot on the pins 22 and assume the position shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing, that is to say, to so place its upper edge with respect to the upper edge of the rear wall as to bind or look the paper ribbon between said walls, when it is apparent the lower portion of the ribbon 18 may be severed ortorn off by pressing it forwardly against the lower edge of the front wall. In

this operation it is manifest that the paper ribbon 18 will be held or locked in the upper edge of the guide and the preventioniof rebounding thereof further assisted.

The front wall is provided with a closed slot 27 at about its middle, for registering with the slot 21 or 21 in the rear wall.

As these slots register with one another, it is obvious that one of the fingers may be placed in the rear of the rear wall and the ribbon 18 grasped between said finger and the thumb, which may be located so as to contact with the ribbon 18 through the slot mounted and having a transversely disposed and forwardly and downwardly inclined portion, a bail-like holder for a rollof paper pivotally mounted at its upper portion on the upper part of said member and having its free ends inwardly extended, a core with a central opening relatively larger than said inwardly extended ends located between and eccentrically on said in-turned ends for receiving a paper ribbon roll wound thereon and which turns therewith and is adapted to bear against a portion of the vertical and a part or the inclined part of the supporting member, whereby rebounding of the paper ribbon will be prevented. I

2. A paper holder consisting of a supporting member adapted to be mounted vertically and having upper and lower portions vertically extended and between said extendedportions a transversely and downwardly disposed portion, the lowermost vertically disposed portion forming the rear wall of a vertical guide and having an elongated opening therein, a bail-like holder for aroll of paper pivotally mounted at its upper portion on the upper part of said supporting member and having its free ends inwardly extended, a core with central opening relatively larger than said inwardly extended ends located between and eccentrically on said in-turned ends to permit the roll of ribbon g paper wound thereon to turn therewith and to bear against a portion of the upper vertical and a part of the inclined part of thesupporting'member, an orificed front wall of the guide pivotally mounted on and above the horizontal medial line of said vertically disposed portion or rear wall of the guide and the paper ribbon extended from said roll downwardly through said guide, where by, when the lower part of the ribbon is pressed forwardly the upper portion of said front wall will lock the paper ribbon against the upper edge of said rear wall.

3. A shaving paper holder consisting of a supporting member adapted to be mounted vertically and having at its lower portion a vertical guide spaced from the support upon which the said supporting member is mounted, the lower portion of'said member forming the rear'wall of said guide and hav-,

ing an elongated opening between its side edges and provided oneach of said edges above the horizontal medial line of said wall with a pivot, an orificed front wall of the paper ribbon extended from said roll downwardly through saidguide, whereby, when the lower part of the ribbon is pressed forwardly the upper portion of said front wall will lock the paper ribbon against the upper edge of said rear wall.
